Transport for London says misleading adverts for congestion charge sites have been removed from the search pages of Google. ITV News London first highlighted how 1,000 people a day were charged more than the regular amount by paying through unofficial websites.

The websites claimed they were providing "additional services", but TFL said those services were "non-existent".

We welcome the ruling by the ASA and are using this opportunity to again raise awareness of these unofficial Congestion Charge payment sites. Customers should take care when paying the Congestion Charge online and only use the official site www.tfl.gov.uk/cc which is a quick and easy way to pay, and avoids any unnecessary charges.

We are doing as much as we can to minimise the risk of unofficial websites or adverts misleading customers into paying more than they need to, including talking to Trading Standards and the Office of Fair Trading and calling on search engine providers like Google to do their bit to put a stop to this.

TfL will be taking steps to seek to ensure that unofficial websites and search engines who allow them to advertise are not misleading the public.

We will continue to pursue these avenues but in the meantime we urge motorists to take care and only use TfL's website.

The Advertising Standards Authority has upheld three complaints against the website paylondoncongestion.co.uk and ordered the website to make changes. Transport for London claims 1,000 people a day are falling for unofficial websites which levy a £6 premium.
